exhibited here yesterday to large and

the utmost satisfaction with the entire
performance. The riding Of Miss Stokes,

ellcited the warmest applause. The Man
Fly who danced clog with his feet to the
ceiling and his head down, and the

The hippodrome races were very fine
indeed, and Of a wonderful variety, en-
brscing, in fact, all sorts Of riding, an
Client and modern, classic and popular.
The Wild West show was more than
good, the many scenes ofborder life par
tioipated In by tribes Of real Indians and
by scores Of Indian slayers, cow
boys, trappers, frontiersmen, Mexican
poems and Vaqueros, was high
ly pleasing, and the bloodless

DoWned by an Eagle.

CHICAGO, Sept. l6.-The extensive
candy mandatory OF Milton K. Page &
Co., Gil and 2l3 Lake Shore, was totally
destroyed by fire last night. The flames
spread 10 the buildings adjoining on the
other side, one Of which is occupied by
J. A. Fay q Co., OF which Mayor Roche
is partner and manager, doing consid-
cradle damage. The fire was discovered
few minutes after IL O'Clock.
The fire gained rapidly, leaping out
of every window, front aud rear, and
bursting drought the roof. The struo-
ture was soon q mass Of flames and at
intervals heavy crashes, throwing
flames and showers Of sparks, denoting
the falling In Of large sections Of the
flooring and machinery. The fire soon
spread to the adjacent building, the low
er floor Of which is occupied by J. A. Fay
& Co., and the upper floors by
Page q Co. These upper stories were
the buildings No. 2l5, 2l7 and 2l9, occu-
igniting the roof and burning down to
top floor. A fall flagstaff, surmounted
with huge eagle, ran up from the roof
Of Pages building. This burned away
dropping across the roof OF the building;
the eagle struck over the edge and broke
off. Lieut.. Cass together with Frank
Walter and Con. Sullivan, were
standing on ladder nearly up
for the fourth story, when the eagle fell.
IL struck Walker on head, knocking
him of the ladder and against Cass,
who was also carried of his feet. They
jumped down the ladder to the side
walk, taking with them Sullivan, who
stood lower down. Walters was badly
cut on the head and Lieutenant Cass
was somewhat bruised. The origin OF
the fire Is unknown, and the loss is
about 100000.

DIED AT HISsPoST.
Udo RhodIus' Sudden Death "In ar
Hour When We Know Not"

Udo RhodIus' Sudden Death "In an
Hour When We Know Not"
The startled whisper with which the
very unexpected and mysterious death
OF lido Rhodius was breathed on these
streets yesterday evening would have
revealed even to a stranger that one had
gone who would leave q gap In the
social and business ranks OF this city.
Apparently In excellent health, In the
full vigor OF his manhood, strong as a
young Hercules, he was perhaps the last
man at whom death would be suspected
Of dwelling his fatal arrows. Mr..
Rhodius was organist for the /. o. o. +.
OF this city and the last seen Of him alive
was about 8 O'Clock at which time he
came down from the lodge room and
exhibited pair OF pincers that he
had found In the instrument which
he was tuning. Returning to his work
he WAS seized with apoplexy, some
time between that hour and six O'Clock
and died without any Indication OF suf-
fering. The deceased was young man,
only 80 years OF age, well known In the
city, which was his birth place, and q
young man OF fine business qualities.
or warm, affectionate disposition and
fine social nature, he was much beloved
by his associates and was the Idol of his
family. The tender tribute paid his
memory BY a LIGHT correspondent,
Magnolia, renders IL unnecessary for
more to be said here.
The funeral, which occurs as this issue
goes to press, is under the auspices of
the l. o. o. f., OF this city, Lodge No.
ii Of which he was a member.
Mr.. Rhodius was educated In Europe,
married Miss Stafiel, Of this city, and
has one child left to mourn with the
heart-broken widow the death at once
OF companion, protector, friend. The
synpathies OF city are with the afllict-
ed, and In their afilictiOn the LIGHT as
sures them OF Its sincere condolences.
